Dirty Coop needed a dummy to get sucked into the Red Room rather than him. The goal was for Good Coop to swap places with Dougie and for one of Dirty Coop’s numerous hit men to kill Good Coop.

Audrey was already dead and in some purgatory world just waiting to meet up with Ben, John, Jack, Hurley, Kate, and all of the other lovable figures from ABC’s “Lost.”

Kinja has proven to be even worse then expected since it moves the comments with the most replies to the top. This creates a page with a vile troll like comment at the top because enough people replied to tell them they were vile. I don’t know what the solution is, maybe just try to reply as much as possible to other…

Congratulations on finding the worst take.

It’s not unconstitutional until the Court says it is, and anyway, the Constitution is a legal document. not a moral imperative. Don’t try to change the topic just because you don’t like what’s being discussed.

Psst, the constitution is real bad and was never good.

This is approaching dangerously normal.

But can Obama tell me whether or not Audrey was in a coma or what her deal was?

NOT BERNBROS FAULT, BRO!!1!111

This is called “fan service” and makes for average-at-best television. See: season 7 of Game of Thrones.

Lost has an incredibly fulfilling finale, THANK YOU VERY MUCH—I mean, on a character level, at least.

That seems unfair to say The Sopranos ending was richly layered and the Lost one was unfulfilling. Average fans also hated how The Sopranos ended.

They came back and meddled and destroyed everything. It all fell into darkness. Perfect. Wonderful. Do not change a thing.

I think this sort of snark is misplaced. What people enjoy is clearly NOT long wordless car rides, but given the space to breathe, the atmosphere changes and the dread builds and the viewer wonders. A show that swiftly moves from set piece to set piece or crams in a ton of exposition everywhere can never do that.

I long reached the point with Lynch where I quit approaching his work with any kind of analytical mind. He deals in abstractions and the whole point of his approach is that you have to experience it, not think through it. Trying to make it make sense defeats the purpose. That’s why episode eight is the standout…

And, how about a “wooooohooooo!!!” for Lucy shooting Evil Dale and saving Sheriff Truman? I didn’t expect that at all.

• Naido being reduced to a placeholder for Diane is another example of Lynch’s clumsy sidelining of non-white characters. In this case, she’s not even a character, but a symbol of a character.
